Well, as many of you have probably already heard, there was a shooting today at a college a few blocks away from Concordia University. I was actually at Concordia when it happened. I didn't hear any sirens or shots or anything, but word kind of spread throughout the school fairly quickly, and everybody was on their cell phone talking to parents or friends about it. The actually brought the students to Concordia for the counselling right after. There were people all over the place with signs directing Dawson students to the university, and I could see a helicopter circling overhead.
Its all still very sureal right now. As interns, we don't deal with the people from Dawson directly, but I know the two IVCF staff workers that do fairly well. They will definitely need our prayers. I think that this will have a long term impact on a lot of what we are doing here too, and so you can pray that God would give us wisdom, and somehow make something good out of all this. One of the names of God is the Redeemer. He is very good at taking something very bad, and turning it into something amazing. He does that with us as sinful humans everyday.
